(where applicable) Fortilizio, situated at the edge of the town of Rapolano
Terme, on a hilltop overlooking the Val di Chiana and the plain of the
Sentino, and surrounded by woods of oak and chestnut trees, is an old
watchtower, part of the larger complex of the "Castellare di Sarri," a
thousand-year old fortified medieval hamlet of Lombard origin which, over
the centuries, has retained its original structure, enclosed in large town
walls, containing an armoury which later became a church with valuable,
restored, fourteenth century frescoes and a second watchtower, which is
currently the owners’ house. In an independent position and carefully
converted by the current owners to become a comfortable country home,
Fortilizio has maintained unaltered its architectural structure with the
thick external and internal walls (ensuring pleasant temperatures either in
the summer and in the winter) of the ground floor in open-face stone. For
the internal décor tradition and local materials prevail: ceilings with
exposed beams and tiles, floors in split slate and yellow Siena stone; the
rooms are enriched with antique furniture but with customized details
giving a touch of originality and lightness to the ancient charm of the
building. A holiday in this charming hamlet, immersed in a natural oasis
rich in history and art and very close to the famous spa town of Rapolano,
is a unique opportunity to revitalize body and spirit in an experience
involving all the senses. The proximity to major road links also make it an
excellent starting point for exploring the many rural villages with their
excellent cuisine in the immediate vicinity and for visiting the major art
cities both in Tuscany and in nearby Umbria. The house is located about 70
metres from that of the owners, who stay only occasionally in the property
and can be a useful reference point for guests to whom, however, complete
privacy and exclusive use of the pool and of the park is guaranteed. In
order to see more pictures of the medieval hamlet please visit the web
site: www.castellaredisarri.org Interior: The house has two floors. The
entrance on the ground floor leads on the right to the kitchen, toilet and
laundry and, on the left, to the dining room and from there to the sitting
room with sofas and satellite TV. A staircase in the entrance hall leads up
to the first floor consisting of a twin bedroom with joinable beds with
en-suite bathroom with shower and two double bedrooms, one with bed 1,40 m
wide, sharing a bathroom with tub. This floor is completed by a
sitting/reading room with sofas and fireplace. Air conditioning only in the
bedrooms and in the living room of the first floor. Park: The estate in
which the house is situated covers an area of about 40 hectares, most of
which are covered by woodland and, for a hectare and a half, by an olive
grove. The park is completely fenced-in for about 1 hectare; here lawns
alternate with paths and paved areas, everywhere flanked by colourful
borders, medicinal plants, tall trees and fruit trees. The area of the
hamlet belonging to the house has independent and direct access from the
car park at the rear of the house, at the end of the inner, oleander-lined
driveway and is bordered by a shady pine wood and by a large well-kept
garden. In this green area framed by olive trees, in front of the French
window at the entrance and kitchen and protected by the cool shade of a
majestic walnut tree, an outdoor dinning/living area has been set up,
surrounded by hydrangeas, hibiscus and jasmine.Please notice that photos
are taken in spring, therefore flower blossoming, and the colours of the
gardens' grass could be different at the moment of your arrival at the
villa. Swimming Pool: Perfectly integrated in the hamlet, the pool is
situated in a private, fenced-off area of the property, a few metres from
the house and accessible through a gate for the safety of children,
surrounded by a dense forest vegetation and framed on one side by a wall
adorned with a rich assortment of succulent plants and bushes of colourful
flowers. It is lined in cream-coloured PVC with travertine border; large
steps lead down into the water and it has a hot-water outdoor shower. It
measures 7 x 15 m with the depth varying from 1.2 m to 2 m. It has salt
purification. The sunbathing area, with Tuscan travertine paving, is
dominated by a large oak tree creating natural coolness and is equipped
with sunbeds, deckchairs, little table, and lighting. The pool is open from
the last Saturday in May to the last Saturday in September. Pets: Yes,
